Dan's Story

LMBT# 19716

As a first-generation Nicaraguan American, I have always felt a strong connection to the healing traditions of my Indigenous culture. Growing up, I was inspired by the incredible skills of Sobaderos—traditional Central American healers—who practiced manual therapy. At the age of 12, I began experimenting with these techniques on family and friends, which laid the foundation for my passion for healing. In 2008, I formalized my training at the Southeastern Institute for Massage.

 

Now, as a licensed Neuromuscular Massage Therapist, I blend these traditional healing practices with modern therapeutic methods. I believe in combining the scientific principles of massage therapy with the timeless wisdom of Central American Sobada. Each year, I strive to deepen my knowledge of human anatomy, massage techniques, and indigenous folk medicine, ensuring that my treatments are both effective and culturally enriching.

 

At Tainica Therapeutics, I am dedicated to providing a holistic, personalized healing experience that honors both modern science and traditional wisdom. Whether you are dealing with chronic pain, postural issues, or are simply looking to enhance your well-being, I am here to support you on your journey toward balance, healing, and vitality.
